How to Increase the Value of Your Business (Before its time to sell it)


Business brokers frequency encounter business owners that have neglected some fundamental areas of their business that will impact the value when it’s time to sell.  
Here is some excellent advice to save you from devaluing your business when it’s time sell:
  • Make sure renew your lease or renew your options and check these dates.
  • Ensure you have employee agreements in place.
  • Create an operations or training manual.
  • Keep proper, accurate and detailed financial records.
  • Keep a well maintained and current database.
  • Survey your customers on what they want from your business.
  • Update your marketing.
  • Test new marketing ideas and measure your ideas.
  • Keep up with market trends in your industry
  • Set clear business goals.
  • Plan for the future.
Any one of these factors can have a significant effect on the final value of your business when it comes to selling. Buyers and their advisors are looking for security, repeatability and sustainable earnings from your business.
The stronger these points are in your business the better your selling price.
